Hello everyone,
I bought a new iphone 6S 18 months ago from a third party, and it worked perfectly, till i had some battery problems 1 month ago, that s why i decided it was time to have it restored.
After that, phone kept telling me that my sim card was not supported, and that i had to contact my operator, the thing i could not do because my phone came from UK ( i did some researches) .
At first i thought it was blacklisted , but with imeipro.info , i found it wasn't neither blacklisted nor lost/stolen.
So all of that made me go to a third party technician i don't know , who told me my phone was blacklisted.
Please should i trust him, i don't want to spend 100 dollar for nothing.
Thank you so much
(and i m sorry for my very bad english)

I can help you if you PM me. There's a lot of reason it can be blacklisted whether the original owner reported it lost, stolen, fraud, etc.

Maybe it was locked to a carrier and it's locked again to that carrier again. If the IMEI doesn't show that it's blacklist or stolen when you check it on that website. Then it's probably not stolen or blacklisted.

You can’t go wrong with that idea. I hope it works out for you.
